GOBLIN GALLOP
For many years the students have been
competing with the faculty in such sports
as soccer, field hockey, and volleyball,
but this year a new event was added - the
goblin gallop. Unlike team sports where
skill is more important than conditioning,
success in this endeavor was determined
solely by who was in the best shape.
Thus, such classic individual challenges
as Keur vs. Holtzman were fairly resolved,
mostly in favor of the one possessing the
longer legs, e.g. Keur. Degrees of participatory
enthusiasm varied: the only female
athletes who competed represented
the student contingent) Mr. Brown
slogged on gamely past budding condominiums,
symbols of civilized advancement
and affluence; Mr. Ayres revealed
his admirable racewalking style some
(Docl) actually finished-, some (Senor) did
not even try to begin. But, the surprise
winner was a wiry sophomore named
Hagstoz, whose unexpectedly powerful
closing sprint overtook would-be crosscountry
students and has-been harrier
faculty alike. Can the faculty regain their
dominance over youth? Tune in next year
